What it is
What you can play today
A small dev island, where the game's foundations are being built: movement, aiming, the first weapons and creatures, accounts and the launcher. Factions, thumpers, crafting, magic and the rest on this page come later.
Oraclerium is early in development. This is the idea so far, and it will change along the way.
The world
An alien world rich in Oracite, a crystal everyone wants. You arrive as a recruit with a pistol and a blade.
Oracite gives off a signal. Nobody knows why yet.
Thumping
Most resources come out of the ground with a thumper.
Plant and defend
A thumper takes a while to finish, and the noise draws attention.
Where you plant
Safer ground gives less. Riskier ground gives more.
Thumpers
Made by players. Better ones dig more.
Plants and creatures
Alchemists gather what grows and what roams.
Factions
TBA
Out past the walls
Safe ground
Towns and your home are safe.
Treaty lands
Some areas are off limits for fighting other players.
Contested
Everywhere else, anything goes.
Territory
Ground can be taken and held.
Dying hurts
Die out there and you leave some of what you carried behind. Your gear stays with you.
What is being built
Aim is the skill
Combat is a shooter, not a tab-target rotation. You aim, lead, reload and manage ammo, with melee and energy weapons and magic.
Grow by doing
No classes and no experience for kills. Every skill improves as you use it, and races differ in what they learn fastest.
A world that you are living in
Immersive quests, PvP, crafting and mining, trade, clans, housing, then vehicles, mounts and familiars, global auction house, faction warfare.
Built in the open
Playable in the browser from day one, so anyone can test right now. What players report shapes what gets built next.
Races, not classes
Anyone can learn any skill. Races differ in body and strengths.
Human Male
Tougher, and better with a blade.

In the game now: Weapon Tech and Melee. Coming later: shapeshifting, familiars, magic, crafting and more.

Other ways to fight, each a skill of its own.

The valley's wildlife
Creatures get bigger and tougher as they level.
Stount
Stounts nest wherever a thumper has gone quiet. Old diggers swear they hear the ground shift before any instrument does.
Stount Matriarch
Every Stount nest answers to one of these. She was here before the first claim was staked, and she remembers who dug where.
Flob
Flobs graze on the crystal dust a thumper throws up. By the time one dies its shell is mostly Oracite, so nobody leaves a dead Flob lying around for long.
Grows into: Naton, Slabon
Lidion
Clegurk
A Clegurk will sit on the same rock for a week. Its tongue is out and back before you have finished deciding to shoot.
Fadun
Faduns drift toward the signal at night. Alchemists boil them down into something that glows in the dark and tastes worse.
Grows into: Didon
